Tryon Creek Calendar Page

Since I just finished a double-page spread for our 2015 photobook... I also wanted to include a page for our 2016 calendar of our time at the Tryon Creek State Park. (see previous post).

I used a color block behind my photos, and I think it gives the photos depth and interest. 

Thanks for looking!

Background - Like Sunshine

Punch - Square (filled w/green,yellow and brown)

Embellishments - Summer Vacation (leaves and flower); A July Romance (ribbon recolored brown)

Stamp Brush Set - Frames with a Flourish (flourish - brown)

Font - CK Bradley's Hand and Broadway (brown)

So-Cal Horse Show and Farm

 

Continuing work on our 2013 photobook with our trip to Southern California to visit Mike's family. His sister, Karen, and her husband, Michael, competed in the So-Cal Miniature Horse Show while we were there.  It was fun to see what they both enjoy.... Karen racing in the carriage race and Michael being the MC (the guy who announced the competitions and the winners).  Afterward, we took a tour of their farm, where they board horses -- both miniature and regular size; keep ducks, goats and dogs and cats....as well as parakeets and frogs. We had a great time!

Thanks for taking a look!

Christmas 2012 -MDSM001

My husband and I put up our Christmas tree this past weekend. Just a simple tree with ornaments that we've collected throughout the years.

I saw a new challenge on a blog called MDS Monday. I felt that our tree photo would create a great page with the MDSM001 Challenge in mind.  If you'd like to view the sketch and all the other pages created by this sketch, click here:

Tradition Lake

I started out by working on a Digi-Scrap Challenge on SCS, but aside from 3 photos....it doesn't even come close to adhering to the challenge. Ha! I guess I will have to work on that challenge later.
I really like how this page came together, and now it's got me thinking about making a calendar for 2013 with places Mike and I have been in 2012. Well, I better get cracking if I want to complete it before 2013 starts....I got this one page done! LOL!
Thanks for looking!
